Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

A system with a known transfer function exhibits a constant increase in error over time described by e(t) = kt, where k is a constant. How would you set Kd to minimize overshoot?

💡 Hint: Consider the relationship between Kd and the rate of change in your error.

Challenge 2 Hard

Assume a temperature control system experiences rapid fluctuations in temperature readings due to sensor noise. How could you implement improvements in the derivative control to stabilize the system?

💡 Hint: Think about signal processing techniques.
